March 29, 2017 (UNIAN) Unidentified assailants
attacked the Polish consulate in Lutsk, in western Ukraine on Wednesday, Radio
Poland reported. “It was probably a grenade launcher,” Polish Consul Krzysztof
Sawicki told local media. “The projectile hit the top floor, leaving a hole of
about 70 centimeters.” No one was injured in the attack. The Polish foreign
ministry summoned the Ukrainian ambassador to Poland, Andrii Deshchytsia, in
response.

“We expect and demand that the security of our
institutions be improved across Ukraine,” a spokesman for the Polish foreign
ministry said in a statement. He called on Ukrainian authorities to “explain
the circumstances of the incident,” and to “identify and arrest the
perpetrators.” Ukraine’s President Petro Poroshenko condemned the attack on
Twitter, saying he had “urgently” ordered authorities to “take all reasonable
measures to investigate this incident and the perpetrators.”
